Will you ever retest the Houndoomite ban at a later date to see if banning it was truly the right decision?
It would most likely be at a point where the tier is more stable and less potentially problematic Pokemon like some of what got dropped from OU are figured out, as well as retesting the older bans on other BL PokemonWill you ever retest the Houndoomite ban at a later date to see if banning it was truly the right decision?
Zygarde-10% @ Choice BandI was looking into trying UU and I wanted to try Zygarde-10%, but I couldn't find any information anywhere on what sets were commonly used with it. It appears to still be generally viable, so I was curious, what is the most common Zygarde-10% set?
Viability doesn't always translate to high usage. Jellicent is a pretty good Pokémon, but so long as people don't use it all that often, it won't be uu. Hell, last gen Alomomola was a better water type than Vaporeon, which was garbage, yet mola was ru, and vaporeon was comfortably in uu.So the best ghost in the tier, (Jellicent according to the viability rankings), is not even UU by usage?
Exactly, though J-cent's usage in June and July might be higher due to it being on the rise.Viability doesn't always translate to high usage. Jellicent is a pretty good Pokémon, but so long as people don't use it all that often, it won't be uu.

Mega-Sceptile is a okay Mega imo. It's very fast and can serve as a emergency check to Latias. It also beats Mega Pert lacking rain and other bulky waters and grounds. Problem is that it's coverage in Dragon Pulse/HP Fire is somewhat lackluster and it's rather easily revenge killed due to it being very frail.How Is Mega-Sceptile now that it's dropped to UU? I see that it is B rank but otherwise I don't see much discussion on it.
I was planning on getting in to UU and was wondering what are some good Mega Pidgeot cores?
Thanks to Prankster nerfs, Dark-types like Weavile and Krookodile can switch into Prankster moves aimed at them and not be affected, which combined with the nerfs you already mentioned makes SwagKeys not viable this gen. Klefki is the best user of Spikes in the tier though, and it can use dual screens too if you don't want to use Alola-tales for whatever reason.Is swagger legal? If it is legal, then is SwagKeys (Klefki with Swagger/Foul Play/Thunder wave/Fairy move) viable or is it just a bad joke. I know swagger got nerfed due to 33% chance of confusion, as well as dark types being immune to prankster and thunder wave having 90% accuracy.
If that doesn't work out, what is Klefki's niche? Spikes?
I heard it's early August. As for Mega Aero + TG Xurk... I'd say some VoltTurn support of some kind, like CB Scizor. Both do appreciate pivoting and imo for Xurk it's required. I'd also say a fast special mon like Latias. Finally, both hazard setting and hazard control (pls don't use defog latias), maybe Nidoking and Starmie, respectively.Hey so when is the next tier shift likely to come out? Also, what is a good compliment to Maero and tail glow 3 attacks Xurkitree
Admittedly, I haven't used it much myself but from what I found Defog Latias just had some nasty 4MSS. I usually run Dual STAB + CM + Recover on CM sets because I appreciate Latias's special bulk and ability to revenge slower threats, which often causes it to take SR damage. I've found that it's best to fit other hazard removers (not starmie tho) on the same team as it, or to not run hazard control at all which is what I othen end up doing.You are right in what can fit it though.With all due respect, I don't like the way you discouraged the use of Defog Latias. Defog is actually a really useful move to have on Latias, and while not always super optimal on cm sets, it can definitely be fitted in and is also almost always used on Scarf and Support sets. With Defog, Latias is one of the tier's best hazard removers since it forces switches so easily, which can result in reliable removal. It's also just a bad idea to pair Starmie alongside Latias. Together, the two stack a serious weakness to Pursuit and to threats like Scarf Krookodile, Weavile, etc. and this isn't optimal considering the prevalence of these mons. Overall, Defog Latias is among one of the best removers in the tier, and I really don't know why you think that it shouldn't be used.
